The piece surveys the 151 Representatives elected in eighteen states with 123 administration allies opposing Nebraskan slavery expansion and 28 anti administration members from various parties. It notes voting blocs, likely future unifications, and hints at a larger anti slavery current in free states plus a split over naturalization laws. It also mentions Know Nothing influence in several border states and predictions for chamber divisions on contested issues. Then it shifts to a curiosity report on the preaching monkey and a petrified egg found in Livingston Alabama.
